I'm still astonished by the ending of this film. Granted no one ever exits a Fulci film with any degree of happiness but
The Beyond must surely be the man's blackest, bleakest ending. I love that weird shot of the feet running on the stairs. Anyone know what Fulci thought of
Suspiria and
Inferno ? I think
The Beyond (and
City of the Living Dead) would never have happened without those earlier films. I'm not saying Fulci was ripping off Argento, just that those films
must have freed him up to experiment...
